Is Fantome "back"?

[drgarage1]

Just moved into my new place so I gotta let the tomes of old out. This is the oldest I've had yet, by about a decade.

Oxidation has set in but in a very good way. It has transformed into a tart candied apple flavor. I've only had lambics this old and like them this definitely shows me of how a beer can age gracefully even with oxidation. Carbonation is still there and cork came out with ease.

This is so freaking good and drinkable, good thing this was the last bottle on etre or I would be buying the rest tonight!

Dat glass

Checking in on my first Del Rey courtesy of shelf_turd_ferguson.

This nose on this one is insane, the floral sweet honey and musky, funky tart fruit smell is followed by faint spicy pepper.

Flavor is green apple, caramel, earth, honey, a bit of peppercorn tingle closed with a bit of citrus peel-like tartness. Classic Fantome yeast and Jester King flora work well to add a bit of sour twang and complexity to the sweetness of some Fantome offerings. Not getting any real slickness. The Abv is incredibly well hidden.

Would smash again 100%

Drinking a local IPA that has some French hop varieties. Getting a lot of 'tome similarities... a lot. Aromas like strawberry and fruit salad that I've only really found in tome saison.

New (May 2016) batch of Brise-BonBons is great. Bitter, bready, lightly floral, tomey yeast but not really funky...smells even better than it tastes. This is one to try fresh for sure.

Lot 15 S 2, BB 2019

Murky and dark.

White pepper, mango nectar, pineapple juice.

It won't change lives but I could swim in it.

In this big glass I got deep in the aroma. It hit my lips, telling me "take me... take me into your mouth like a lover".

And I said, "lol ok".

IDK where to begin with this one. Was not a fan at all.

Well cheers to that!

(They gush when I pull them straight from a laid down wine chiller, I've learned to open in the sink if I'm not a patient man.)

I knew it was only a matter of time! Looking forward to the Fantome tattoo thread.

I've spent the last 20+ years trying to decide what my first tat should be. Maybe this is it?

That would be a great first tattoo for Mike!

I'm pretty drunk right now. Thinking about going to get a similar 'Tome tat before I sober up.

Don't do it!!! When you sober up... You will thank yourself... I'm glad I didn't do it!

thunderbirdesq I feel sorry for making fun of your tatt!

Email me your home address and I'll send you a Pekko hopped Fantome clone I brewed ( very close if Dany brewed one)

This beer will take away the pain your body went through... and might even close the pain of mental scars for getting a beer tatt on your body... Just like the hipsters do (or the "lumbersexuals" I see in San Francisco with PBR Tatts...( just saying)

I would love to try your Fantome clone, no worries man, I figured it would cause a bit of "oh why did you do that?" however, I do believe this is a step up from the afformentioned "lumbersexuals" and their pbr tats.

Honest question as someone who will most likely never get a tattoo.

What made you get the tome ghost? I think it's cool but do you have plans to get more around it?

Great question. I have been trying to decide what my next tattoo should be for the last 2 years, a few months ago I was convinced as a beer geek and huge fan of Fantome, the idea, the beers, and the place itself. One day I will visit the brewery I hope and this was me basically committing to being a slave to the ghost. Every Fantome bottle I open makes me feel a multitude of feelings, my other tattoos are done in similar design and fashion, they all represent aspects of my life that are important in my own particular way.

Just sat in the shower for 10 minutes contemplating this decision.
